‘The Naked Gun' – Trailer: Crime, action and comedy coming your way
2
The trailer of 'The Naked Gun' is out now. Each part of this show has come with a different story, and so it is expected with this one. The plot gets different, and so does the genre. The sequel has been going since 1988, and now the fourth part is coming.
The sequel
The original film was in 1988, 'The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!,' which was based on the comedy series 'Police Squad!.' The movie was a total hit at the box office and was later followed by 'The Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear' in 1991 and 'Naked Gun 33 ⅓: The Final Insult' in 1994.
The Cast
The cast includes Liam Neeson, who leads as Frank Drebin, the investigator first portrayed by Leslie Nielsen. Paul Walter Hauser plays Captain Ed, previously played by Alan North and George Kennedy in the show and film franchise, respectively.
Pamela Anderson plays the love interest, taking over Priscilla Presley's film role. The cast also includes Danny Huston, Kevin Durand, and Liza Koshy.
Anderson and Neeson's words
At the Zurich Film Festival last October, Anderson said, 'Liam is hysterical in it.' Further, Neeson praised his co-star, quoting 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with,' Neeson said to People. 'I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you.
No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.'
Neeson has also expressed feeling dubious about taking on a comedic role. 'Yes, I'm honored to be offered the part of Frank Drebin, and a little bit nervous about it because I've done a couple of skits before that were just very short TV things, but this would be, I don't know, 95, 100 minutes of a film,' he said to Collider.
The film hits the theatres on 1st August. Watch the 'Naked Gun' trailer below:

Sylvester Stallone sold his dog to keep him alive before Rocky fame but his turtles are still by his side
Sylvester Stallone's 'Rocky' Turtles Still Going Strong And So Is the Legacy of His Famous Dog, Butkus While Rocky made Sylvester Stallone a household name in 1976, the film also introduced two unlikely co-stars that remained with him far beyond the screen—his turtles, Cuff and Link, and his bullmastiff, Butkus. Unlike many movie props or animal performers, these companions became a lasting part of Stallone's personal life. Cuff and Link are still alive in their fourties, and Butkus, who passed away in 1981, left behind a legacy strong enough to earn an IMDb listing of his own. In a nostalgic Instagram post shared in May 2018, Stallone posted a photo alongside the turtles and wrote about their enduring presence in his life. The actor, now in his 70s, shared that Cuff and Link were not just props in Rocky, but have been part of his family since the film wrapped. He also highlighted their return to the big screen in Creed II (2018), referring to them fondly as his 'original buddies.' In Rocky, Cuff and Link were introduced during a quiet scene in which Rocky shows them to his love interest Adrian (played by Talia Shire), calling them 'the exotic animals I was telling you about.' What audiences may not have realized then was that Stallone kept the turtles after filming ended and continued to care for them reptiles, red-eared sliders by species, are known for their longevity, often living several decades with proper care. Their appearance in Creed II was more than just a nostalgic nod; it underscored the bond Stallone has maintained with them over the years. As People reported, the turtles are currently living a peaceful life under Stallone's Stallone's bullmastiff, also had a heartfelt role in the Rocky series, appearing in both the first and second films. But his off-screen story is just as compelling. Before Rocky became a hit, Stallone faced financial hardship and had to sell Butkus outside a 7-Eleven store because he could not afford to feed him. Once his screenplay sold, he tracked the dog down and bought him back—for $15,000, a steep price he was willing to pay without who was born in 1972 in New York City and died in 1981 in Los Angeles due to a heart attack, is remembered fondly by fans and even has an IMDb page under the name 'Butkus Stallone.' He's credited with roles in Rocky (1976) and Rocky II (1979), making him one of the few dogs with documented acting credits in a major film continued presence of Cuff and Link is more than a quirky trivia fact; it reflects the deep emotional ties Stallone has to the character of Rocky and the film that launched his career. Over the years, fans have speculated whether the turtles seen in Creed II were truly the originals. Stallone, however, has consistently affirmed their authenticity, emphasizing their significance in his life.

The film follows the story of Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula One driver who makes a comeback to the sport. He joins the fictional APXGP team as a mentor to a young, promising driver, Joshua Pearce.
